Canman 

Derogatory term for lazy, ignorant or all-together unintelligent Indians. Does not apply to all Indians, just individuals with the aforementioned attributes. In theory, anybody can be a Canman, the only true prerequisite is ignorance.

Factory Worker one: Hey Dave, a Canman stole my job today. The stupid bastard worked for half my salary.

Factory Worker two: Wow, that sucks. How's Marge gonna take it?

Factory Worker one: Not well, she loves their movies.

Chainman 

The shabby-arsed useless tit of an assistant who attempts to follow orders given to him by a Land Surveyor.

Chainmen tend to be:

1) students of the Surveyhood whilst gaining vital survey experience in the off peak periods

or

2) Career chainmen - nasty rabid, fly blown and flea bitten pieces of work who, for some reason, are all smokers and have filthy beards.

Chainmen (or chainpersons) are responsible for:

- Keeping the survey vessels (see rust bucket) in reasonable cleanly order and with appropriate amount of stocks

- holding the prism pole for the surveyor (as the surveyor can only be in one place at one time unfortunately...)

- Following orders from the surveyor

- Filling the air with cigarette smoke and the nasal twang of bogan accents

- Generally making a balls up of every possible situation

See chainy

Surveyor: "My chainman didn't sharpen the brush hook for use in the field today."
Draftsperson: "So what did you do?"
Surveyor: "I took him out the back and shot him."
Draftsperson: "Oh, good!"
